We do force them to show some attempts at getting work but letting them starve is unconsitutional, every human being has the right to life, liberty and freedom from harm.
If you get close enough to lightspeed your time slows down so it becomes feasible to live through the journey. The hard part is the acceleration and deceleration (even if you can produce the necessary thrust you have to consider the maximum force the crew can survive vs the time needed to accelerate at that force). I think once SciFi implementation of regular travel with time dilation has been used in Soukou no Strain (anime), a central theme was the time that passed while the spaceships were travelling at near lightspeed though the implementation of physics wasn't that consistent IIRC.
AFAIK copies of Zelda TP still go for over 50 Euros, is there any cheaper game that would allow installing the HBC? Some of those shitty shovelware games are bound to have a weakness and shovelware gets discounted pretty fast...
This is in addition to the full disk encryption. When you have an encrypted disk someone might wonder what's on it, with this you can show them a harmless part and they won't even realize there's more data on there than they see. Or should, if there were no flaws.
How many musicians can make any meaningful amount of money from their creations even 2-3 years after the first release, never mind 50? Very, VERY few works can make money for that long.
if 95 years copyright for a writer, why not 95 years for a patent?
Because a patent has a much wider scope. A copyright applies to a specific story, a specific work. A patent applies to a way of implementing an idea. A copyright can be circumvented easily when you're creating your own work (just make something that has the same functions for your purpose and vary the remaining parts, e.g. when you use a villain you just have to keep his evilness and maybe his powers, not his appearance, history or personality quirks), a patent is specifically designed to prevent that (when someone patents a drug you cannot just give it a funny shape and a different name, you actually have to invent a new substance with a similar effect).
If I graze my cattle on your ranch, you will not be able to make use of your ranch - but if I sing a song that you wrote, you will still be able to sing that song.
Depends on what you see as the purpose of the property. If the purpose of the ranch is to graze cattle, yes, it's being denied to you but if you just use it as a vacation home where's the damage? If the purpose of the song is that you just want to sing it there's no damage but if the purpose was to make money then someone else sharing free copies of it make you unable to do so.
Buy? Without copyright there wouldn't be any buying, they'd just download commercial software off the internet. Well, if it were to exist. Won't see any expensive dev teams work on software like that if it can't be sold. Maybe some small-time teams producing some simple stuff, maybe some to-order teams that onlys the megacorps can afford to write their tools for them.
The actual graphics on the Wii are the same as the Gamecube in that they are for Standard Definition TV while the graphics of the PS3 and Xbox 360 can display on SDTV to 720p and 1080p HDTV.
I can run N64 games at HD resolutions with an emulator. Measuring hardware by its compatibility with different resolution displays doesn't make much sense IMO.
That'd just not work, you'd end up either changing an intron or breaking some important protein blueprint, making the creature unable to live. It's like letting you fire specific neurons in your creature's brain, you'd just end up causing seizures.
That requires a complete remake of many parts of the game (and would leave people unhappy due to no or shoehorned usage of the Wiimote), they're making Wii-specific games instead.
I'd rather not, using the pogo in 2d was hard at times but manageable, 3d just doesn't work for that since it's hard to see where floating platforms are located in 3d space and of course platforms are easier to miss since you have to align two dimensions instead of one, increasing the difficulty quadratically.

Oh, the huge manatee!
It would probably make for a much better hero than 90% of the videogame characters out there.
Isn't the EU just the form of government the USA should theoretically be, i.e. a fairly loose system on top of fairly independent member states?
Since when is China a part of Europe?

If we talk while our enemy fights, we lose.
Yep and thus India remains firmly under British control.
The average insurgent might prefer Obama, the cunning leaders prefer a prolonged battle as it makes more people follow them.

Might have been a reference to the PS3 ad campaign or might have been me reading too much into it.
I suppose it won't even defeat the regular region lock?

Yes, the law actually includes aircraft. You can be a sky pirate if you can find a way to board a flying plane.

On the upside, if the recording industry no longer uses the song it reverts to you after the first 50 years.

Abolishing copyright wouldn't automatically abolish trade secrets.

Yes, yes, realistically 1 voter = 0 votes.
Do you mean B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S.?

What will come out first, these Duke Nukem games or Forever? And will we get new Commander Keen games?
